Chapter 672: Adding Another Plate
Rayquaza nodded and agreed.
His pupils darted around, staring at Kazuya again and again, but ultimately he said nothing and coiled up on the grass nearby.
Rayquaza had never landed on the ground?
He really should let those future Pokémon scholars see him now.
"Ooom."
I also felt some special auras on you. By the way, why don't you take damage from Water-type moves?
This was Kyogre's question.
Over this long period, they had fought no fewer than fifty times, at least twenty.
He had long noticed that Kazuya wouldn't take damage from Water-type moves, but he just kept forgetting to ask. Today, seeing Rayquaza start, he finally remembered.
"Roar?"
Next door, Groudon meant roughly the same thing.
He was curious why Kazuya didn't take damage from Ground-type moves, even though he had specifically emphasized that his kind of black fire dragon wasn't a Flying-type Pokémon.
Hearing this, Regigigas and Florges both turned to look at Kazuya.
As for his younger brother, he had run off as soon as they returned.
Based on his past behavior, he probably took the Dragon Clan members to attack the barren land south of the desert.
This younger brother.
Wanted to conquer the continent even more than Kazuya, the Dragon King.
"...What do you think?"
Kazuya didn't answer directly, but instead turned to look at Rayquaza.
He was curious how much the Rayquaza of this era knew.
Anyway, Regigigas and the two idiots basically knew nothing, so much so that Kazuya still hadn't gained anything useful from them.
"Listening to these two, is it Plates?"
Rayquaza's eyes lit up, grinning at Kazuya.
That wasn't a look of greed, just confidence in his answer.
"Correct, the Splash Plate and the Earth Plate. As for the aura Kyogre felt, that's called the Sea Crown, similar to the Dragon Stone."
Kazuya raised his hands, revealing two smooth and translucent plates, one blue and one brown. "I am collecting these things."
After Kazuya said this.
Florges took a few extra glances, planning to have the Dragon Clan members keep an eye out for such things when they went out in the future.
As long as it was something her younger brother wanted.
She wanted to help him get it.
That's right.
In Florges's eyes.
Although Kazuya proclaimed himself Big Brother, and the vast majority of creatures, including his younger brother, thought so too.
But actually, in Florges's heart, both Kazuya and his brother were younger brothers.
After all, she remembered very clearly.
Back then, Kazuya and his brother were just two little dragon cubs, clearly younger than her, and had to rely on her for protection.
It's just that for so long.
Florges had considered Kazuya's dignity as the Dragon King, so she had never spoken of this matter.
"Regi..."
Regigigas stood silently on the side.
He watched the two Plates disappear into Kazuya's hands, lowering his head and staring blankly at the ground.
That place where he had slept back then.
Was there a piece there?
The memory was too chaotic.
At that time, the newly awakened Regigigas was still in a Slow Start state, his whole head wasn't clear, and his memory system was also somewhat blurry.
He forgot if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Roar?"
Is this thing edible?
Groudon raised his hand and scratched his head. It looked quite pretty, like a little biscuit.
"...Ooom?"
Are you stupid?
Kyogre mocked. I just stated the function of this thing, and you immediately ask if it's edible.
It was truly shameful to be associated with such an idiot.
"Roar?"
"Ooom?"
Bang!
Their heads crashed together.
Five minutes later.
They had already run to the sea next door, fighting so hard they forgot where they were.
"Plates, the most powerful force in this world. I thought they were all on that guy Arceus. I didn't expect you to have two of them."
Rayquaza's eyes held a certain deep meaning.
Although the current Rayquaza was a bit young.
His wisdom was not something the two on the sea could compare to.
He was currently wondering what exactly happened to make Arceus's Plates fall.
Could it be.
A guy had appeared in this world that even Arceus couldn't handle?
Even though Rayquaza wasn't convinced by Arceus, the father of all gods.
He had to admit, that guy was very strong.
"No, the most powerful force in this world is not the Plates."
Hearing this, Kazuya smiled and shook his head.
The current Rayquaza and the future Rayquaza clearly had different views.
Moreover.
Besides these two Plates, he also had a Dread Plate on him.
"Then what do you think is the strongest power in the world?"
Rayquaza frowned and looked at Kazuya.
He didn't think there was a power more overpowered than the Plates in this world.
Even though.
He disdained relying on such external objects to become stronger.
"For example, the Sea Crown and the Dragon Stone?"
Kazuya smiled and grinned, giving two examples.
"Huh?"
Rayquaza tilted his head in displeasure.
He suspected Kazuya was making fun of him.
"The most terrifying ability in this world is not the power of the Plates, but the power to turn the people around you, and even hostile people, into companions."
Kazuya looked at Rayquaza and returned those words entirely to him.
This was what Rayquaza himself had said.
Even though Kazuya still couldn't completely agree with this statement.
He felt Rayquaza might be right.
At least.
The existence of companions.
To Kazuya, truly carried more weight than Plates.
His experiences and the lessons he had endured through six lives all told him this.
In many, many battles.
Without Plates.
He could still achieve victory.
But without companions...
He might not be able to do anything.
"Hmph, what twisted logic. There is no power stronger than Plates in this world. The guy who told you those words must be a childish idiot."
Rayquaza smiled disdainfully.
He thought Kazuya was going to say some famous philosophical quote.
And it turned out to be this?
For him in this period, who advocated individual greatness, Kazuya's words were vastly different from his thoughts, so he couldn't agree at all.
"...Whatever you say."
Kazuya's expression was subtle, raising his hand to scratch his head.
"I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'm going to see what kind of strength those two have to talk so loud to me."
Rayquaza was attracted by the battlefield next door and turned to leave.
"Regi."
Regigigas stepped forward.
And told Kazuya what he had just thought of.
This gave Kazuya a surprise.
He had asked Regigigas years ago if he had seen any Plates or the like.
But at that time, Regigigas didn't even know what Kazuya was talking about, so he didn't answer.
Now seeing Kazuya pull out the Plates.
He finally remembered that hazy memory from back then.
"Take me to see."
Kazuya stood up, looking a bit excited.
Although Plates were not the strongest ability in the world.
They were definitely the top tier of items.
If he could collect them.
Why refuse?
Maybe they would be useful in the future.
Kazuya only hoped the stone Regigigas saw was really a Plate. Any Plate would be excellent.
Of course.
If it could be the Mind Plate or Draco Plate, that would naturally be the best.
Psychic powers were too tricky.
Not at all like in the game where they only deal damage or provide support.
In reality, those mental moves were impossible to defend against and couldn't be dodged just with speed.
If it weren't for this, Kazuya wouldn't have forced himself to practice Psychic powers, in order to increase his mental strength.
As for the Draco Plate.
There was even less need to say.
Among those pseudo-legendaries and Legendaries, how many were Dragon-type Pokémon?
In the T0 and T1 top tiers.
Except for Ho-Oh and the fully activated Regigigas, they were all Dragon-type gods.
"Regi!"
Regigigas nodded.
"Flor."
Florges came over, indicating she wanted to go too.
"Alright, get on my back."
Kazuya nodded.
His body enlarged to a size sufficient for both Florges and Regigigas to sit on, and then he flapped his wings and flew towards the rocky mountains.
Flying all the way to the rocky mountains.
"It's underground, right?"
Kazuya turned his head to look at Regigigas behind him.
"Regi."
The latter nodded.
Back then.
He didn't know how many meters deep underground he was. If he wanted to go down again now, it would probably take some effort.
"Call Garchomp and Druddigon to help."
Kazuya immediately had a plan.
The Land Shark needed no mention.
The latter was also an expert tunnel digger, just lacking the Ground type.
Led by Champion-level Garchomp.
Plus over two hundred digging experts, digging down from the surface of the rocky mountains wouldn't take much time.
Three days later.
Kazuya was surprised to find that there were countless giant underground caverns beneath the rocky mountains.
And these giant caverns were interconnected, and there were also waterways connecting them.
They must be the places dug out by the Bug Clan for survival back then.
Except for lacking any vegetation and light, this place could really become a small world of its own.
Perhaps it could be used as an emergency shelter for the Dragon Clan in the future.
"Regi."
Under the guidance of Regigigas.
They went all the way deep into one of the deepest and largest underground caverns.
This cavern was completely different from the others.
On the walls here.
Were embedded a large number of Electirizer emitting blue fluorescence!
Kazuya even saw quite a few Thunder Stones among them!
"It seems there really is a Plate, and I think I know which Plate it is."
A touch of blue light flashed in Kazuya's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.
Although it wasn't the two he wanted most.
It was still pretty good.
"Regi!"
"Flor!"
When the voices of Regigigas and Florges sounded at the same time, Kazuya immediately turned his head to look where they pointed.
A golden plate, entwined with streaks of electricity, was plainly stuck in a piece of rock.
If Regigigas hadn't suddenly remembered it.
This golden plate might really have been completely buried in the world.
[The berserk avatar, can bring down the lightning of wrath.]
Recalling the text description of the Zap Plate.
Kazuya grinned and stepped forward, reaching out to grasp the golden plate in his hand.
Wisps of electricity flowed along his arm into his body, instantly swallowing Kazuya's entire dragon body in lightning.
Kazuya's body felt a burst of numbness.
Then the Plate disappeared.
The fourth Plate - Zap Plate, Get!
